Library classification disappeared. How to return the original classification

My library classification itself disappeared, how to return to the previous original classification, I have been keeping the habit of synchronization, how to return to yesterday's classification
  • Not sure what you mean. (You can just post in your native language.)

    Are you referring to Zotero collections?

    It looks like you deleted a couple collections in your library in the last week. If you did that by mistake, and this happened recently, you might be able to restore from one of the automatic backups. Note the specific instruction about collections.
  • 好的,我用母语说,今早起来,我的zotero文件夹分类自己变乱了,有的文件夹变成了另外一个文件夹的子分类,我怎么恢复文件夹到我昨天的分类状态?我刚看了一下,昨天的并没有自动备份

    Only one existing collection in your online library appears to have been changed, so if that was moved, you can just move it back.

    Two other collections were deleted — both in the last hour — so those should certainly be in your last automatic backup. Make sure you're carefully following the instructions to temporarily disable auto-syncing.

    Dozens of other items in your library were deleted a couple days ago, both no other collections have been deleted in over a month.

    To be clear, these would only be changes that you or someone else with access to your account (e.g., on a shared computer where you left yourself logged in) made. There's no way for changes to be made to your library otherwise.
  • 你说的对,我的有一个 名为'SFTS'的collection被系统修改了,在今日2小时前,所以我尝试找回时,又把分类弄的更乱了,我如何回到今天2小时前最开始的分类状态?我之前自动同步到zotero 网站的文件夹分类怎么找回?我现在点进去网站,已经是被更改后的状态
  • I can't really say more than what I did above. You'll need to follow the linked instructions carefully.
  • 在网站里,我怎么找到我之前的备份?请您告诉我,这些文件真的对我很重要,谢谢您!
  • It has nothing to do with the website. I linked to instructions for restoring from one of your automatic backups.
